Endeavour improves security with new web address

In order to better protect its members, Endeavour Mutual Bank has moved its website to a new web identity – www.endeavour.bank – Australia’s first dot bank domain.

The new www.endeavour.bank address provides robust security and meets strict verification requirements that will reduce the risk of cyber threats and enable a more secure environment for members to easily identify.

Since the dot bank environment is exclusive to the banking industry, it provides a level of security unmatched in traditional internet environments. The strict controls in place mitigate cyber security risk and allow Endeavour Mutual Bank to better protect its members.

The new www.endeavour.bank domain is an online stamp of trust. It is a simpler, quicker, more thorough way to inform members and protect them against cyberattacks.

Since www.endeavour.bank is a verified domain, fraudsters simply cannot get a domain or email address that looks like it in order to impersonate and phish members or employees. In common domains (eg .com.au) it is possible for anyone to purchase a domain that looks nearly identical using a variety of alphabets, misspellings, numbers in place of letters, or one that seems it could be legitimate (eg banksecurity.com.au). Only verified banking institutions are permitted to use the dot bank domain, giving members an immediate visual message of trust and integrity.

All Endeavour email addresses have also been changed and now end in '@endeavour.bank', including info@endeavour.bank which is the email address used for all Endeavour enquiries.
